Two people have been arrested by police investigating a recent shooting and stabbing incident in Barking.
At the scene, they found a man in his 20s suffering from stab injuries which were not life-threatening.
A short time later, it emerged that a man and woman had self-presented at an east London hospital.
The man had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg which was not life-threatening, while the woman had suffered minor injuries consistent with grazing from a bullet.
A 27-year-old man and 31-year-old woman were subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
The man has been released on bail - to return on a date in late May - while the woman has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
It is thought that all three people sustained their injuries in the Hertford Road area.
